Background

This project offers OpenSSH (including daemon), precompiled and packaged for the PPC LinkStation. The OpenSSH[1] package is intended for people who want to upgrade from Dropbear[2][3] to a more full-featured SSH daemon. This way you can use a client like PuTTY or FileZilla for terminal and file transfer. You can even tunnel other protocols like VNC through SSH to make them secure.[4] This package requires that you have installed the OpenLink or FreeLink firmware. You may download the latest version from the downloads area here. Or, use this version[5] "it contains the original tarball plus an installation script (not yet widely tested, but at least from that you can see the requirements)" referred to by Izzy in this forum [6]
